Standing up for our Armed Forces

Jonathan has seen his Private Member's Bill successfully pass through the House, by which he campaigned for the naturalisation rights of Foreign and Commonwealth soldiers in our Armed Forces. Following agreement by both Houses on the text of the Bill, it received Royal Assent on 13th March 2014. The Citizenship (Armed Forces) Bill is now a lawful Act of Parliament.

Members of the gym staff from the Army Training Centre, Pirbright, visited Parliament for an insight into the history of Parliament and a talk with Jonathan Lord about the role of an MP and how debates take place in the House of Commons.
